At the last moment, the government finally sent in government officials to stop the riot. However, after this destruction, people in the church were already panicking, and Huang Zhen, Zhang and others also lost their energy. The originally open and honest debate turned into a smashing incident, which caused them to lose a lot of points in the public opinion of Hangzhou City. . In addition, the local government was wary of the power of officials and gentry such as Sun Yuanhua in the church, so there was no way to explain such a thing, so they admonished Huang Zhen and deported him back to Ningbo.
After this incident, the anti-religious people's vitality was greatly damaged.
Public opinion also turned against them: not only did many people have opinions about the attack on the church, but many anti-explanatory posts appeared on the market, making anti-religionists disgraced. Although Zhang went to the church to submit the "Three Essays on Distinguishing Heaven", he was still at the end of his game, and the church still did not make any reply. The storm gradually passed.
Although the storm has passed, the early outbreak of lesson plans in this time and space has brought a rich source of materials and imagination to the local people's literature and art. For a time, various folk arts, raps, and even small plays had various versions of the joke, until both parties used their connections to go to the government to tell the story. Qiantang Renhe County dispatched government officials to arrest more than a dozen unlucky artists, the shackles, and the shackles. It was only through the plan that this trend was suppressed. For the Hangzhou Station, which secretly caused trouble and fanned the flames and caused trouble, Zhang Daozhang was slightly dissatisfied: Although this lesson plan successfully attacked the Catholic Church and Buddhist forces, both of them were severely weakened. limited. Although the church has lost its image of "dare not debate", its internal unity seems to have strengthened; as for the Buddhists, this blow to their original influence is just like a punch to the elephant, without even a hair. Not even a few were damaged. If New Taoism wants to benefit from it, it is still far away. Zhang Yingchen found that if he wanted to preach, he would still get better results by engaging in the work of "treating diseases and saving people." At least, he has accumulated a lot of fame and connections by practicing medicine in Hangzhou. Isn't this how Zhang Jiao got his start?
However, Zhao Yingong became the "backbone" of the Hangzhou church because of his "firm performance" in this lesson plan. The church's attitude towards him has further escalated: originally, it was just treating him with courtesy because of the letter of introduction from the Jesuits, but now it is simply "one of its own". Not only did Guo Jujing entrust Jin Lige to come to Wanbi Bookstore to express his gratitude, but the religious gentry in the Hangzhou church also sent people to pay their respects, sending them full stickers and various gifts. Zhao Yingong also returned the favor one by one: his return gift was the standard scholar's favor: hardcover editions of "Catechism", "Sutra Collection" and "Selected Hymns" printed by Lingao. All are in Chinese version of Three-Self, with Latin translation included. The printing is very beautiful.
Under such favorable conditions, Zhao Yingong took the opportunity to propose that he would like to set up an organization such as a charity in Hangzhou. I hope the gentry in the church can take care of me.
Handling charitable undertakings was also one of the social functions undertaken by local gentry in ancient Chinese society. Not only did the imperial court's relief come slowly, but it was also exploited and inefficient at all levels. Often the disaster-stricken places were already empty of houses, and the imperial court's relief money and food Still on the way to mobilization. Sometimes the court did not even provide relief at all or only allocated some symbolic money and food. Therefore, most local relief was organized and handled by the gentry.
After this incident, the church also wanted to gain favor among the lower class people, so it immediately agreed with Zhao Yinshou's proposal. The two parties agreed that the religious gentry in the church would come forward to give the name and help raise some donations. Zhao Yingong would be responsible for raising the donations and handling the specifics to run the "Ci Hui Tang".
Although organizing charity events is a normal activity for local gentry, it is very risky for an "outsider" like Zhao Yingong, who has been here for less than half a year, to do this. Now that the local gentry has come forward, it will be easier for the government to handle it. too much.
On this day, Zhao Yingong was handling matters in the sī house. The layout of the Shanhai Road of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau had been put in place one after another. As the person in charge of the Hangzhou station, he had to do something to open up the local situation for "Wanyou" and "Runshitang" who were stationed in Hangzhou. work - after all, future work requires strong support from both mountains and seas to function properly. Especially for pharmacies like Runshitang, it takes a lot of effort to gain a foothold in Hangzhou, where competition in the pharmaceutical industry is fierce, and this support must come from the gentry, which all depends on Zhao Yingong.
While he was busy, Jiying came to report that a Hangzhou church member named Zhu came to pay his respects.
"Oh?" Zhao Yingong has recently received many people from Hangzhou churches. He couldn't figure out who they were for a while. After taking a look at the post, he realized it was Zhu Zongyuan.
"It turns out it's him!" Zhao Yiggong expected that he would come to visit him. Zhu Zongyuan, a Confucian scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, was the most enthusiastic among them. His courtesy name is Weicheng and his name is Guyue. He is from Yin County, Zhejiang Province (Ningbō), but he often lives in Hangzhou. He is also an active member of the Hangzhou church.
"Invite him to serve tea in the outer study." Zhao Yingong said, putting down the documents and pens in his hands, standing up and taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and Fenghua came over to help him straighten his clothes.
Although Zhu Zongyuan was very young and had no fame at the time, he was a religious young man with extraordinary views and proficiency in astronomy. He "worked on cultivating morality" and "rectifying people's hearts". He was a religious fanatic who needed enthusiasm, enthusiasm, theory and theory. molecular. He wrote two theological works, Answers to Guest Questions and A Brief Introduction to Salvation, which play an important role in the history of Catholicism in China.
Such a person certainly has a strong say in the church, and is a role that cannot be neglected for Zhao Yingong, who is about to rely on the power of the church.
At first glance, Zhao Yingong was quite surprised by his youth. It turned out that he was born in 1609 and was only 23 years old in 1631, which is the age of undergraduate graduates from the University of Old Time and Space.
After the two sides exchanged a few polite words, Zhu Zongyuan first thanked Zhao Yingong for his "protection of teachings" in the teaching plan, and then persuaded him to be baptized into Christianity. Fortunately, Zhao Yingong had heard a lot of such words recently, and he had his own excuse. After using the method and several sets of Tai Chi, Zhu Zongyuan saw that this "Guangdong Juren" was still neither salty nor weak, and was embarrassed to continue admonishing him, so he raised his formal intention.
He took out a stack of manuscripts from his bookcase.
"Brother Zhao, please take a look."
Zhao Yingong took the manuscript, read it briefly, and was surprised: it turned out that this was the famous "Answers to Guests" in the history of the church. This book adopts the question-and-answer format of "asking Yu Zongyuan as a guest" throughout the book, and the thinking is very clear. The whole book can be divided into approximately ten parts. In addition to preaching the doctrine, it also explains one by one the various contradictions caused by the spread of Catholicism in China and the social, religious and ideological concepts of the time. Its purpose is: a Catholic apologetic work written to refute Buddhism, denounce Taoism, destroy mí, and supplement Confucianism based on the belief concept of "serving God with all your heart."
Zhao Yingong only knew that this book was written by Zhu Zongyuan. He did not expect that this man wrote this work at the age of 23. He was also a strange person.
"Brother Zhu is a great talent!" Zhao Yingong praised. He had guessed that Zhu Delai most likely wanted him to be a sponsor to print and publish the book.
"Don't dare," Zhu Zongyuan was quite proud of this. His intention was indeed to have Wanbi Bookstore print and publish this book "in order to rectify people's hearts and defend the holy religion."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhao Yingong made a decision after only a moment: seal it for him. Even if Wanbi Bookstore does not print it, other wealthy gentry in the church will sponsor the publication of the book.
There is no concept of copyright in the printing industry in this time and space. Shiji's investment is nothing more than the cost of printing, and there is no need to pay royalties or royalties to Zhu Zongyuan.
The disadvantage is that this book is too niche, so I'm afraid not many people will buy it. However, after this crisis, the Hangzhou church will definitely increase its propaganda efforts, and Zhu Zongyuan's book meets their needs. He can suggest to the church that they purchase large quantities and distribute them for free. This part of the sales volume is too good to escape...
At that moment, Zhao Yingong promised to sponsor the rigid distribution of the book and sent away the overjoyed Zhu Zongyuan. He walked around the study room several times and called Gu Dengbao, the naturalized shopkeeper who was currently handling the printing affairs of Wanbi Bookshop. From his name, we know that he was given by a senator. It is absolutely true that this man's surname was Gu. He was also a woodblock craftsman. After becoming a naturalized citizen, he had been working in the Lingao Printing Factory. This time, Zhou Dongtian was specially sent to Hangzhou to manage the printing workshop of Wanbi Bookstore.
"Have you copied and sorted out the three theories of "Biantian" and "Zhengwangshuo" that I gave you a few days ago?
"Sir, everything is clear and we are proofreading it. We will be able to make the plate soon." Gu Dengbao said, "Sir, should we still use slate this time?"
"Yes, let's use a slate." Zhao Yingong nodded and handed Zhu Zongyuan's manuscript to him.
"You should transcribe this book as soon as possible and prepare it for printing." Zhao Yingong said, "And the "Study Discrimination Relics" I gave you must also be proofread and completed as soon as possible."
"The Relics of Bianxue" is a missionary document released by the church, and "Zhengwang Shuo" written by Zhang is based on this book. Zhao Yingong actually prepared a "publishing topic" and planned to create a "book series".
Specifically, the various works involved in the Hangzhou teaching plan were compiled into a series for publication. He estimated that after this big storm, scholars in Hangzhou and even the entire Jiangnan area would be very interested in this incident. There will be a market for this book as soon as it is published. Of course, appropriate marketing methods must also be used. Zhao Yingong suddenly thought that although all the works involving the lesson plans were included in the publishing plan, there was no booklet that comprehensively introduced the entire process of the lesson plans, which would make people confused about the ins and outs of the lesson plans.
"We should hire a few unprincipled local writers to do this kind of custom work." Zhao Yingong said secretly. ! .
< >, reading is a kind of enjoyment, it is recommended that you collect it.
